‘Double Yield’ is a classic heirloom cucumber dating back to 1924 and prized for its exceptional productivity, crisp texture, and excellent flavor. Vigorous vines produce abundant crops of uniform, smooth, lime green fruits with black spines and a satisfying crunch. Especially popular for pickling, the cucumbers are also delicious sliced fresh or eaten straight from the garden. Start ‘Double Yield’ indoors or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 12 inches apart and grow in full sun. Vines typically reach 3 to 5 feet long and perform especially well in warm conditions thanks to their good heat tolerance. Ready to harvest in about 52 days, begin picking the 4- to 6-inch fruits while they are still firm, crisp, and tender. Harvest frequently, since regular picking encourages the vines to continue producing and helps maximize yields throughout the season. Crisp, flavorful, and productive, ‘Double Yield’ is excellent for pickling, fresh slicing, salads, and snacking.
